Summary
Just around the corner from the RSC, this long-serving bistro with “Tudor-type” decor is “THE place to eat in Stratford if you’re going to the theatre – they put you through with speed (but don’t make you feel hassled)”, the food is “reliable (if not exciting)”, while “staff are helpful (but not obsequious)”. “What more does anyone want before a dollop of Shakespeare?”
Summary
There’s a “nice Tudor feel” to this stalwart bistro; some reviewers feel the food is a little “dull” or “just cruising”, but more often it’s felt to be “accurate, reliable and efficiently delivered”.
Owner's description
Just a stone’s throw away from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, you will find a thoroughly modern, bustling bistro – The Opposition.

With a thoughtfully-constructed menu and eclectic wine list, the Opposition really does have something for everyone – it is a friendly bistro with an informal atmosphere, offering a delicious and varied menu to suit all tastes. The perfect venue for lunch, dinner or that special occasion where atmosphere, food and service all count.
